Body and Paint:

California Car with great solid body. Doors and hood line up
well. In 2018 the truck was painted in gloss black. They really did
a beautiful high quality paint job. Please see all photos and the

really deserves to be called a “headturner”. To me this is by far
the best color for a classic truck. Just beautiful!

General information about this make and
model:

The Ford F100 from 1953 till 1956 is the second generation of
the Ford F-Series. The Ford F-Series was redesigned by Ford for
1953 with a more integrated look. The pickups also obtained their
widely familiar names: The F-1 now became the F-100, the F-2 and
F-3 now became the F-250, and the F-4 now became the 1-ton F-350.
Optional interior amenities were new, including a dome light,
lighter, arm rests, sun visors and a radio. On March 13, 1953, the
Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission became an option.

The second generation seems to be the most desired body style
for collectors and enthusiasts. The short bed style is the most
valuable version, V8 automatic is also the most desired option
(based on selling prices). It is very hard to find a restored 1953
Ford F100 in gloss black. I consider the value of at
least $40K (as of May 2018).
